The next Henry?
With the talk of the vastly over hyped Freddy Adu being chased by Manchester United and Chelsea it's time to draw your attention to Arsenal's 18 year old prodigy: Anthony Stokes.
Currently on loan with Falkirk of the Scottish Premier League (a league at least the equal of MLS) Stokes has recorded 9 goals in his last 4 league games. This includes back to back hat-trick performances in the last two games. He was named the Young Player of the Month for October and is the leading scorer in the SPL. Stokes also scored the game tying goal in Falkirk's win over Celtic in the Scottish League Cup this week.
The question remains: will Arsenal leave him in Scotland to finish the season or bring him back to London when his current loan expires in January. And perhaps more importantly, will he be given a chance to perform with the Arsenal squad unlike other talented young strikers such as Aliadiere, Lupoli and Bentley.

let's hope so. he's looking like the real deal. i'd love to see him come in and team up with adebayor. from what i've read about stokes, i think they would make dangerous combination. and that would finally give henry the rest he deserves and needs. i wish we got spl games, cause i'd really like to see this boy play.
we need a new wonderboy in this league anyway...rooney is overrated, and walcott needs to play more
we already have the best wonderboy of all in the league and no one but arsenal fans pay attention. cesc fabregas. he's younger than rooney and currently one of the top five midfielder's in the prem. when he's 28 he'll be the best player in the world.
and i think walcott is probably being played exactly the right amount. rooney's been burned out; i don't want to see that happen to theo (and now that i say that i think flamini should come in once in a while for cesc so our spanish boy doesn't burn out too).
